To me, this means Emperors can attack along the Meridian, and territories along the Meridian can attack Emperors. But it doesn't imply that territories along the Meridian can attack other (non-adjacent) territories along the Meridian (which would explain why I could fort along the Meridian).

Is this an oversight in the instructions, an XML problem, or a chain fort code problem?

this tells me that you held this old bird who borders Shenwu Men West which probably enabled you to fort Japan thru Russia, yes? If this is the case, this is not bad, that old dear had her fingers in so many foreign pies....

Doh yes I did have the Empress. Sorry cairns, false alarm. My teammate was meant to take that off me the moment I forted him the stack

The border between Yo and Cheng either needs to be taken out, or needs to be able to be seen. I recently got screwed in a game because I couldn't make out the border, which is almost imperceptable due to the Meridian line

I think that yes there is confusion about about borders which has always been the case, simply becasue people can't follow regions, diagrams and gameplay instructions which clearly define where there is a border (the little synbol) and can't tell where or don't look where one region joins or doesn't join another. Sorry to be so scathing. There was a lot of discsussion over how to fix this, and the current map was felt the bet fix at the time.So far, i've never heard a solution that fixes this nor one that everyone agrees on.

Maybe the territories within a bonus could have slightly different shades? Similar to ManB's picture?

Well, no, doing this would not give the "continent" colour for differentiation, and i can see clearly that Nation Alln. is pale pink as per the legend.Creatingn patterns on this area would give it unnecessary business which would clash with the border symbols.

The original post from Glen Perry, where he cannot work out why USA cannot attack Germany, is that there are two border indiactors between those countries.USA borders Britain, Inland Missions and France.Germany border France only.

EDIT: I appreciate some of my maps are not easy, but in that they are designed to show people that the traditional odd shape or region/continent shape is not the only form of having border concpets. Otherwise, i woudln't have also developed the Rail concept.

I meant something similar to Eurasia. Each continent has a color theme, but different shaded territories.

IMO, I understand the original confusion, but after playing this map only a time or two the connections should become apparent. It works the same as normal connections, just long and snake-y. Start at the "blotch" of the territory in question, and just follow the trail till you hit some other territories.
